Very true! The DSM is broken and pathetically shallow for something that is expected to hold up as a universal measuring tool when considering mental health. It's incredibly demeaning, and it's a vicious cycle for those who struggle.
Adhering to these standards and norms I think is what Bukowski meant ..."some lose both and become accepted." when referring to the soul and mind.
Thank you for such a wonderful comment, you're always so appreciative, it makes me feel ultra warm <3
Of course Aymen! I appreciate good content, and you never fall short of that. Literally everything I've seen you post has blown my mind. I love how deep you go and how intellectual and philosophical your posts always are. The way you put words together to relay certain ideas is stunning! It's always such a pleasure to read them! <3
Hahaha thank you, I try.
And the feeling is very mutual. :p
